    Ow! Ow! Ow!

    I personally despise the fact that every newspaper article about Cecelia Ahern seems legally obliged to run under a headline that begins “P.S.”

    P.S. Cecelia bags movie deal.
    P.S. Cecelia enjoying life stateside
    P.S. Cecelia’s old man is a lying, hateful cunt

    Super Cali go ballastic Celtic are atrocious.

    Not a cliche or a saying. Was a good headline though.

    Damian Rice and one of his stagehands were devoured by a wild tiger yesterday while on tour in India. The beast was reported to have vomited up both victims later the same day.

    “May the roadie rise with you.”

    Bertie Ahern on his way back from a diplomatic mission in Asia, once again declared himself innocent of any wrongdoing regarding his personal finances. He made this statement while in the Beijing Airport Duty Free.

    Some years ago,Scottish footballing minnows Caledonian Partick Thistle thrashed Celtic in a Scottish Premier League tie. Cue headline in the Daily Record: “Super-Cali-Go-Ballistic; Celtic-are- Atrocious”…

    Sorry to be pedantic but there was no such team, it was either Caledonian or Partick Thistle. The full name is now Inverness Caledonian Thistle which is a merger of two clubs Inverness Thistle and Caledonian FC . Geographically they are miles apart.
